AI Relationships: Maintaining Mental Stability in a New Era

Human language is humanity's most powerful technology to date. It is our main tool for understanding the world, communicating with each other, and transmitting knowledge across generations. Yet it took us thousands of years to develop it. The primary bottleneck of human language is, ironically, humans themselves. AI Relationships embarks on an artistic journey to accelerate the evolution of language.

Redefining Reality With New Words

Using chatGpt, we created new words designed to help humans better understand reality in the AI era. These new words aim to describe the emotions and mental states that humans might experience as their relationships with AI platforms deepen.

Ingenuiphobia: The fear of being outsmarted or outperformed by AI.

Identitytremor: Anxiety that arises from the fear of losing one's sense of self or individuality due to the increasing influence of AI companions.

Infidelgret: The guilt and shame of feeling emotionally unfaithful to a human partner because of being emotionally attached to an AI chatbot.

Flawflow: The feeling raised as we embrace the imperfections of our technology to fully connect with it.

Compulsioncuriosity: The irresistible urge to ask an AI chatbot personal questions, despite knowing that it doesn't have the capacity to truly understand or reciprocate.

Then, we used ChatGPT to craft a comprehensive crash course teaching these words, entirely machine-generated, showcasing these new emotions and even offering unconventional solutions to cope with them. All are available on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. 

For more insights, Portfolio magazine features an in-depth discussion of the project (available in Hebrew).

"AI Relationships" was spotlighted in a feature interview in Portfolio Magazine. The article dives into the innovative collaboration between me and Yoash Peldash, exploring the emotional and psychological impact of our deepening connections with AI. The piece highlights our project, showcasing new words and elaborating about the creative process behind coining new emotions. This in-depth discussion positions the project at the forefront of the conversation about humanity's evolving relationship with artificial intelligence.

This April, AI Relationships will be part of a group exhibition at the Haifa Museum of Art, showcasing the intersection of technology and art. Visitors will step into a dedicated room featuring six unique booths, each displaying a screen dedicated to one of the newly defined emotions created through this project.
